TOP STORY

A Target-Rich Environment Manhasset burglaries, car thefts raise concerns

FRANK RIZZO frizzo@antonmediagroup.com

You live in what your believe is a safe, gated community in Manhasset. You and your wife take the dog for an evening walk. Your children and their visiting friends are at home, socializing. The house alarm is off, of course. What you don’t know is that a burglar, using what police believe are specialty boots, has climbed the stucco siding and reached the balcony leading to the second floor master bedroom. He jimmies the lock on the sliding door, flips the lights on and starts looking for valuables. You get back to the house, and as your wife climbs the stairs, announces that she’s going to bed, probably startling the burglar. She opens the bedroom door and notices the lights are on. It was then, you presume, that the unwelcome visitor scampered down or jumped from the balcony and fled. Dozens of people listened with rap attention as a man related the details of a brazen burglary at what he believed was an inviolable place. “I’m a very private person, so I can’t believe I’m telling you this experience I had,” said the resident. At his request, we have omitted his name. “In 17 minutes of our walking the dog and walking back there was a burglary,” he summed up. “We have [the burglar] on camera. The detectives at the Sixth Precinct are great. They are trying to find him and keep on calling me with updates.” He continued, “He took the jewelry—okay it doesn’t matter. My daughter was sleeping in the adjacent room (there were gasps and murmurs in the audience). I don’t know what would have happened if [we had encountered] this brazen person dressed in [some kind of] uniform with what they’re telling me is gloves—because there were no fingerprints. I don’t know what would have happened. I’m nervous for the children, not just [in our] community, but all the communities. You could do something to me, but don’t do anything to my children. We are very shaken up. Yes, we didn’t have the alarm on, but why would we think to have the alarm on while we’re in the house, with so many activities going on?” He urged the attendees to keep their alarms on, lock the doors and keep everything safe and well-lit.

County Comptroller and Flower Hill resident (and former mayor) Elaine Phillips was one of the hosts of the community meeting.

“The Sixth Precinct has offered to stay afterwards and answer your questions privately for those of you not comfortable raising your hands and talking about it in public,” Phillips stated. “We’re going to let Commissioner Ryder get home because he might want to do some celebrating for his birthday.” Phillips also said that he evening would not have happened without LaPadula, who took the initiative. “The biggest job the government could do is to make you feel safe. And somehow, for whatever reasons, this is not the case and we’ll let the commissioner address this,” Phillips said. She hoped that when residents left the meeting they would understand the issues and gain more confidence in what is happening. Phillips then introduced Town of North Hempstead Supervisor Jen DeSena, who welcomed mayors and trustees from the Manhasset area. She also noted that County Treasurer David Chang of Manhasset and former Senator Jack Martins were also in the audience.

Commish Speaks

“We’re here today to talk about the crime issues up here,” Ryder pronounced. “Some of it is perceived and some of it is real. That story is real. That is a real burglary that happened (related by the resident minutes earlier).” He said that the Sixth Precinct used to Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman told the crowd he had increased police average about 500 burglaries a year, and to resources to deal with rising crime in Manhasset. (Photos by Frank Rizzo) date, there had 34, “so we’ve gotten them way down and under control.” The commissioner talked about what The occasion was a June 14 community on social media showing attempted burglarhe labeled a “Chilean Burglary Crew” that awareness/crime prevention meeting hosted ies and car thefts. operated on the target-rich North Shore by the Nassau County Police Department at “I’m a concerned resident, a father of several years ago.

JULY 6 - 12, 2022 • ANTON MEDIA GROUP

MANHASSET BURGLARIES from page 3 hold them on bail and they walk out. That’s a problem for us. A big problem.” The commissioner did note that reforms to the law in the 2021 legislative session did give some latitude back to the judges. He said police and prosecutors used a loophole in the law in which they charged suspects with attempted burglary, which was a bailable offense and so managed to get members of the Chilean Crew held in jail. “They also got them federally charged and the federal court just came down with a ruling—30 years to life,” he related, which drew applause. “The next problem is stolen cars,” Ryder said. “There’s been five stolen cars in Manhasset since the beginning of the year. [In] all five of those stolen cars the keys were left in the car. We saw an uptick.” The commissioner said his department met with area mayors and DeSena, and the county executive was at a couple of town hall meetings. Police also set up roadblocks where they handed out pamphlets to educate the public. Ryder thought all these efforts have worked, that the pace of car thefts has slowed countywide. The commissioner also criticized another modification in state criminal law, the “Raise the Age” act, in which 16- and 17-year-olds are no longer treated as adults for many crimes, but as juveniles. They are processed in family courts, which means they face lesser punishments and consequences. As a result, the same people keep on committing the crimes, he claimed. At a press conference in April, the commissioner spoke of his department receiving reports from East Hills, Flower Hill, Manhasset, Greenvale and Plandome of suspicious males attempting to enter vehicles. He said many stolen vehicles have been recovered in Newark, where the thieves take the cars to be sold, used for drag racing and to commit other crimes. “[These] kids drive like absolute lunatics. They don’t fear nothing,” he said. “We’re not chasing them. We’re not running over your son or daughter for a car. It’s not going to happen. I won’t allow my police department to do it.” At the Manhasset meeting, he detailed what happened when his officers attempted to stop three suspects in a stolen Mercedes who were arrested at Exit 33 of the Long Island Expressway (Lakeville Road) on April 24. “That night, we pushed the envelope and what did I get? Five wrecked cars, five police officers in the hospital. Some of them have not come back to work since then,” Ryder observed. “That night alone we were down almost $200,000 in police cars—$200,000 in taxpayers money that I will never get back. Five cops that are injured in the hospital. Some of them have not come back, and I don’t know if they are coming back.” At a press conference following the incident, the commissioner admitted that some of the injuries could be career-ending

anymore because it’s bad for business. They said, ‘You know what? I’d rather take the loss. I call the police, they come. Now the police are there for half an hour doing their investigation. Nobody’s going to walk in my store while the police are there.’ Those are the crazy things that are going on.”

Some Questions

The NCPD has a satellite office in the parking Lot of the Americana at Manhasset.

This attendee wondered how video technology could be used in fighting crime. for his officers. “I need help,” the commissioner said. “Ninety-five percent of the cars that are stolen you’re leaving your keys in the car and it’s unlocked. The bad guy knows to walk up to the car and jiggle the handle. That’s what you see on Ring doorbells.” He also urged attendees with Ring cameras to sign up with law enforcement so that police can use the videos captured in them. “We start to look for the patterns and where they go,” he went on. “It helps us arrest these people.” Sometimes, the thieves push the garage opener in the stolen car, open the garage door and steal another car which has the keys in it. “They’re not hot-wiring cars. They’re not shipping them overseas,” Ryder pointed out. “These are not organized crime crews that we knew from the ’80s and ’90s. These are 17-year-old brazen kids and know they’re going to get away with it and they’re going to run because they don’t care. And that’s what we’re up against.” He added, “So what are we doing to help you? We’ve been educating you. I’ve said it a thousand times. Please take the keys in your house. I beg you.”

The Americana

The famous Manhasset shopping strip is “the number one hit place for most of your larcenies,” according to Ryder, adding that “since the beginning of the year we’ve arrested 33 people. It’s a larceny, it’s not a grand larceny, so they get out and they’re going to come back.” Ryder said he and Sixth Precinct leadership met and had a discussion with the Americana ownership and the management. “I’m on a first-name basis with most of the stores in there. [Owner] Mark Udell probably calls me five or six times a week from London Jewelers,” he went on. “We’re out there. We’ve done great work, great enforcement—that’s why you see cop cars.” Ryder said his department has recovered several guns out of the Americana and put extra enforcement there, including what he called “an eye in the sky,” a crane from which an officer can observe the area. Blakeman stated, “Let me tell you what was going on in the Americana and is still going on. Shoplifting is out of control— that’s why the police are there every day. I spoke to one shop owner in Manhasset who told me they don’t call the police

A resident asked how many of the burglaries involved the use of a weapon. “Zero,” responded Inspector Begis. “They know that,” Ryder said of the burglars—introducing weapons increases the seriousness of the charge and lowers their chance of getting cashless bail. Another resident talked about reallocating resources, asking about road patrols. “In Nassau County there are 177 cars on patrol every day,” the commissioner said, adding that it’s more than neighboring Suffolk, which is three times as large. “The problem is I can’t cover every street at every second. I talked to the county executive and he said we’re going to be putting extra resources up here. We’ve done that the last five or six weeks and the [crime] numbers are way down. But it’s not sustainable because there’s crime everywhere else.” A man wanted to know what to do if he encountered a burglar, making note that New York is not a state with a “stand your ground” law allowing wide latitude in self defense. Rider mentioned the Fourth Amendment, stating, “When they come into your home you’re allowed to protect yourself, but you have to use equal or a little bit more force. You can’t shoot the guy sticking his head inside the window and you have to have a licensed firearm on top of that. The whole Second Amendment— I’m not touching that. But you have the right to defend yourself.” “What about if they’re outside on the patio?” Ryder was asked. “Call 911,” he responded. Another resident mentioned British TV crime dramas showing the successful widespread use of closed-circuit cameras that are common, especially in London. “Is there something similar, and why are we not catching people using technology?” he wanted to know. Ryder said he was skeptical of the quality of video cameras in public venues, saying the video was subpar and unhelpful when it came to zooming in. More promising was that the county executive had invested $300,0000 recently in more license plate readers for the patrol cars. “Several of your villages have invested in license plate readers,” he continued. “All of that data gets sent to us. We pay for the storage and we pay to analyze it. That’s how we catch them.” He added, “The best cameras in the business, and we’ve invested a lot in them, is your doorbell Ring. The quality is unbelievable. It’s an amazing tool.”

The Final Word

Though at one point Ryder declared that “Crime is way down,” emphasizing by lowering his arm toward the floor, this was only true in the historical sense. “In the Sixth Precinct, we’ve had 34 [burglaries] year to date. On average, we used to do 70 to 80 a week here on the North Shore,” he emphasized. “We’ve really shut it down, but it’s starting to creep back up. You hear the county executive say crime is on the rise. He is 100 percent right. From where we were, we are starting to lose ground and we’re losing that ground because of bail reform, because of Raise the Age. These issues affect us in policing. Again, it’s not a political statement, it’s a fact.” He continued, “We’re trying to get in front of it, but we need help. We need to work together as a community. We need to do exactly what we’re doing here. When we have this dialogue, we hear your concerns and we hear what needs to be taken care of.” When another resident asked about bail reform and who was responsible for it, Ryder turned to Blakeman, who was sitting at the table with elected officials and Sixth Precinct leaders. The county executive strode up to the podium and joked, “Commission Ryder, you are dismissed because I don’t want your wife to make you retire. So thank you so much and get home.” As the commissioner made his way out of the large room to spend his birthday with his family, the executive praised his department head’s dedication, wondering “when the guy gets to sleep.” Blakeman said it was a state problem, not a county problem, and urged attendees, “until you are fed up, until you had enough, it’s going to be very difficult for us to change the culture in the state. I ran on the platform that we have to change crazy laws in Albany.” The executive added, “We’re hiring more police officers, we’re investing in technology and we’re being proactive, but our police officers are handcuffed—pun intended— because they arrest these criminals and then what happens? They’re back out on the street and now they’re more brazen than ever.” He noted that for 200-plus years in this country, judges had to consider only two criteria when setting bail: whether someone was a flight risk or a danger to the community. And that was the judges’ provenance. In New York State, he charged, the legislature has violated the separation of powers by taking over the role of the Judiciary. “Let me tell you what we are doing,” Blakeman said. “I told Commissioner Ryder that I want to make it as unpleasant as possible—according to the law—to those who commit crimes in Nassau County. In other words, we’re not going to rush them to court. We’re going to take our time within the time allowable by law. We want to let them know that this is not a place where you want to commit a crime.”

He added, “We’re going to invest in more police officers. We had another [police] academy [class]. So that’s 167 new police officers we’re going to have. We’re investing in the technology, but remember one thing about technology—it does not prevent the crime. It’s an investigative tool, it just lets us make the arrest.” Blakeman re-emphasized that his and DeSena’s and Phillips’ number one job was to make sure the residents were safe and secure. But they needed help, and urged attendees to educate themselves and vote for politicians who backed law enforcement. “I want to assure you that I believe the police department is doing a great job, they’re working hard,” the executive said. “We’re spending the money on personnel and we’re spending the money on technology. We’re going to try something a little different. We’re going to start Operation Hercules, where we’re going to have patrol cars with their lights on patrolling all throughout Nassau County on an ongoing basis for no other reason then to let the criminals know that we’re around. It’s something they did in the City of New York to combat terrorism right after 9/11 and we think that it will help here in Nassau County.” As the meeting came to an end, Phillips reminded attendees that Inspector Begis had offered to stay and respond to questions in a more private setting. A number of residents took advantage of the opportunity.

et’s be clear—Sheryl Crow is someone who veers away from the off-stage spotlight whenever she can. As someone who cheerfully admits to “...living with my head in the sand,” she’d be the last person you’d expect to be front and center in a film project. But so it goes with Sheryl, the Amy Scott-directed documentary that recently bowed on Showtime. Featuring present-day interviews with Crow, along with a number of famous friends including Keith Richards, Brandi Carlile, Emmylou Harris, Joe Walsh, Jason Isbell and Laura Dern, this project traces the Missouri native’s path as the piano-playing daughter of big band musicians through the present day. Rather than having it become a sunshine and lollipops kind of hagiography, Scott succeeds at creating a chronological narrative that includes a mix of performances along with insights into obstacles Crow ran into. Among the pitfalls touched on are the alleged sexual abuse from former employer Michael Jackson’s late manager Frank DiLeo (along with battling various forms of sexism while having to constantly prove her mettle as an artist) and Crow having her album banned by Walmart after including a song addressing gun violence that name-checked the big box retailer as a source for purchasing weapons. It was an ambitious project the singer-songwriter wasn’t exactly eager to pursue. “When my manager [Stephen “Scooter” Weintraub] and Van Toffler, who I knew back in the early days from MTV and VH-1, came to me and said they had some interest from Showtime to do a documentary, I was really not on board with it,” Crow admitted. “I felt like I’m a very private person and didn’t feel like a retrospective was in order when I’m still alive and have so many more songs to write. For a while there, I sat with the idea and decided there was a world of story and living that is the story of a person and not necessarily a well-known artist. Everybody who has ever become a public figure has that story, so we dug in and my only prerequisite for it was that I didn’t want it to be a catalog of awards and a review of fantastic appearances. I wanted it to be the story of the person I am.” While Crow was ruminating over whether or not to dive into this documentary, the pandemic proved to be a perfect respite for her and sons Levi and Wyatt. “We kind of sequestered and to have that time where they could experience what it means to be bored and

not be entertained all the time,” she said. “They built a chicken coop, raised baby chicks, planted a garden and we rented an RV, went across the country and adopted a Bernese mountain dog. There were things that wouldn’t have happened and I wouldn’t have traded it. The second half of the pandemic, when they were back in school is when we dug in and started making the documentary.” Having picked Scott after seeing Hal, the latter’s 2018 documentary on late filmmaker Hal Ashby, Crow set to work going through storage, digging up photographs and sitting down and going down memory lane. Crow’s vulnerability is freely expressed, particularly when she recounts experiences like reliving her breast cancer battle along with admitting to suffering from bouts of depression. But it was all in keeping with the sexagenarian rocker’s goal of being honest in telling her story, particularly given how averse Crow is to the limelight. “I’m not a person who reads the press on me,” she said. “I don’t look at footage. It’s more enjoyable for me not to have a critical eye, but to just experience it and feel good about it. It was really fun to remember and see some of that old footage and to experience that it was joyful and it wasn’t the speed crash force in the rise to fame. Or the spinning of plates of how to keep the popularity and then the losing of one’s self. There was a lot of great memories along the way that was hilarious, poignant and fun to see. There were a lot of things I’d forgotten about. And then there are a lot of things that we talked about and that I remembered vividly and aren’t documented because nobody had cell phones. The parties I had at my house—there are so many great things. There were some great fun moments. But a lot of it was also very introspective and [involved] revisiting some hard stuff. There was hours and hours of reflecting and it was exhausting and super-emotional. But in the end, I hate to use that stupid word cathartic, but it was.”

Of course, it wouldn’t mean anything if the music wasn’t the fuel driving this engine starting with early hits like “Leaving Las Vegas,” “All I Wanna Do” and “If It Makes You Happy” through latter-day gems like “Home,” “Soak Up the Sun,” “Redemption Day” and “Prove You Wrong” (featuring Stevie Nicks and Maren Morris). A trio of new songs, “Forever,” “Still the Same” and “Live With Me” proves Crow’s creative spark is still burning strong. And while she publicly said 2019’s Threads was going to be her final album, she intends to continue writing and releasing songs. “It’s so nice to be able to write a song like ‘Forever’ and just put the dang thing out,” she said. “I just want to keep writing and putting songs out. I think putting records out now at my age is a little bit of a waste of time. People don’t listen to a full body of work, in order. I want to keep making music and putting it out. I’m going to do like David Bowie. I’m just going to put songs out every couple of months and people can make their own play lists.” That said, Crow’s year will find her touring with a band and then tentatively planning to go out solo while playing a multitude of instruments. For Crow, it’s less about the spotlight and more about sharing her music, particularly when she was asked what stardom means to her. “Fame is a mind-f***,” she responded. “I’m going to have to put $20 in the swear jar in my kitchen as soon as my kids read this. But seriously, it sounds so hokey, but we’re so grateful to be able to go out and play songs that our audiences, which look like Bonnaroo—there are people there my age with their kids and their kids—who are singing all these lyrics. And it’s just such an unbelievably awesome position to be in—to have songs that are generational and a soundtrack. We go out there and play our hearts out and it’s so much fun. It’s a different show. We’re so committed and so present. It’s a good time.”

Faulkner Among The Ruins: The Tragedian BY JOE SCOTCHIE

jscotchie@antonmediagroup.com

uinten Compson is the character that ties Faulkner’s two masterpieces, The Sound And The Fury (1929) and Absalom, Absalom! (1936) together. Read in sequence, Absalom, although published seven years later, should be read first. By telling the story of the doomed Sutpen family, Quinten is haunted by his own failures as a man, mainly his inability to defend his older sister’s honor. Then comes The Sound And The Fury for Quinten to causally detail his forthcoming suicide. Thomas Sutpen, the main character in Absalom, Absalom! is the West Virginia mountaineer determined to join the aristocrats. Rebuffed by his fellow Virginians, Sutpen is a man possessed. He makes his own fortune, acquires his own slaves and set offs toward northern Mississippi to construct his own mansion, Along the way, Sutpen makes a detour in Haiti, where he fights bravely in a civil war and fathers a son with an octoroon woman. In Mississippi, Sutpen marries and raises a family that includes a son,

Henry, and his daughter, Judith. The past comes back to haunt him. The Haitian lad, Charles, turns up at the Sutpen plantation, having met Henry at the University of Mississippi. Henry and Judith are mesmerized by Charles. An Ashley Wilkes-type, full of charm and derring-do, Charles turns Sutpen’s world upside down. The novel’s title comes from an Old Testament story about Absalom, a son of King David, who also yearns for an heir. Incest, miscegenation, and violence make their way into the novel. Charles courts Judith. Marriage is next. Sutpen, knowing that Charles is both a half-sibling to Judith and a mulatto to boot, cancels any wedding plans. Does Charles lose his aplomb? Does he taunt Henry over his romance with Judith? Henry’s manhood is now on the line. War intercedes. The Sutpen men serve with distinction with the patriarch receiving a hand-written note

FAULKNER from page 4A from Robert E. Lee. After the war, Henry’s moment of truth arrives. He does avenge his sister, but through most dishonorable means, shooting Charles in the back. The Sutpen family collapses. Henry flees the country. Judith perishes during an outbreak of yellow fever. The elderly Sutpen is undaunted. He remains fixated on fathering an heir. An old man, he seduces a teenage girl. The girl has a father. Sutpen becomes the second Sutpen man to meet a violent end. Sutpen, Charles, Henry, Judith—all dead. The mansion is burned to the ground. No wonder that Faulkner’s scholarship rivals that of Shakespeare. With Absalom, Absalom! the man went into the ring with The Bard—and scored some real points. For Cleanth Brooks, Faulkner’s most profound critic, the novel is much more than Southern gothic, “Sutpen’s virtues are those of a typical twentieth-century man. So are his vices—his dismissal of the past, his commitment to the future, and his confidence that, with courage and know-how, he can accomplish literally anything.” Quinten Compson acts as the novel’s main narrator. Sutpen’s second wife, Rosa Coldfield, has summoned Quentin to tell him the Sutpen story, hoping that the young man might someday record it. Instead, Quentin talks about the drama all evening on a cold New England night, coming to terms, tragically, with his failed manhood. Henry is a man of action. Quinten flashes back to his adolescence when local men had their way with his older sister, the stunning Candance (“Caddy”). He must fight at least one of them to save his sister’s honor. Quinten is beaten and humiliated by one Dalton Ames, a man who had impregnated Caddy. Henry fought and “won.” Quinten was beaten. He can’t go on. In The Sound And The Fury, the Compson family represents the landed gentry Faulkner revered. The downfall of the Compson family is especially moving. The reader knows that the best of America is passing with them. The Compsons have three surviving children: Jason, the embittered older brother; Candance, the young siren who flies the family nest and Benjy, the 36-year-old man-child. Before leaving town, “Caddy” gave birth to a girl she named after her dead brother. The girl is now 17 and set to leave the haunted household. Benjy is protected by his minder, Luster, and the latter’s mother, Dilsey, the maid who tries to keep the household together. Jason is resentful. Spoiled by his mother, he lives at home, works at a department store, frequents local brothels and dreams of making a killing on Wall Street. He, too, is a modern, 1920s-style character: America, he grouses, is now the “land of the wop and the home of the kike.” An anonymous “New York jew” prevents him from cashing in on his investments. Caddy has fled. Jason now must look

after her daughter, while keeping an eye on the retarded Benjy. He hates his life and blames others for his fate. Since Quentin’s suicide, Mr. Compson succumbs to alcoholism. The female Quinten takes her life savings of $3,000 (serious money in those days) and tries to run off with a traveling showman. Jason wants the money for himself. Benjy and Dilsey retain their humanity. Both can give and receive love. Dilsey takes Benjy to her Easter Sunday service, dismissing the gossip of black parishioners over a retarded white man in their midst. The novel begins and ends with Benjy howling away. Its beginning remains unforgettable. Luster is scouring the rough of a local golf course, looking for stray golf balls he can trade in for coins to go to the motion pictures. On the links, golfers are yelling “caddy.” Benjy thinks that they are addressing his long-lost sister. On he goes, howling away. At the end, Luster drives Benjy home from the services. He makes a wrong turn and Benjy, his world out of joint again, howls on until Jason steps in and sets things right. Is Jason that bad? When need be, he is a reluctant lifeline to his younger brother. As with Absalom, Absalom! Cleanth Brooks believes the novel has a universal theme. “The book is…about the disintegration of a family, a tradition, and of a culture,” he observes. “The Southern setting… renders these lesions…more poignantly…because the South…is stubbornly traditional…and old-fashioned. But the disintegrating forces…are national and international.” Of the two, The Sound And The Fury is the easier read. All you need to do is turn off the television set and read the first chapter. You’ll remember the experience for the rest of your life. I guarantee it.

Getting Literary And Lunar With The Tedeschi-Trucks Band BY DAVE GIL DE RUBIO

dgilderubio@antonmediagroup.com

f necessity is the mother of invention, then the isolation of the pandemic proved to be the rocket fuel for the Tedeschi-Trucks Band’s most ambitious project—the four-part opus I Am the Moon. Divided into I. Crescent, II. Ascension, III. The Fall and IV. Farewell, the duodecet’s fifth studio release was inspired by the same 12th century Persian poem that inspired the title track to the Derek and the Dominos 1970 opus Layla and Other Love Songs. Susan Tedeschi, who co-leads the 12-piece with husband Derek Trucks, still sounds a bit awestruck by the magnitude and complexity of an undertaking that came together as the TTB was trying to navigate getting through COVID-19 when all touring came to a screeching halt. “The pandemic was a good time to really sit back, look and re-evaluate,” Tedeschi explained. “At the same time, we did take care of our band and crew, even though we didn’t work for 18 months. While we had no money coming in, we did have some saved as a band. Primarily because we had lost Kofi [Burbridge] (Ed. note: The longtime band member died in 2019 at the age of 57) and we realized you get medical bills, things happen and you have to have money saved. Thank God we did. Then we had some help from the government and then we would sell our personal stuff to keep food on the table for everyone. A lot of our band and crew have kids—we were just making it through and keeping the dialogue open. Mike Mattison, being our Harvard grad of course, said we needed a project. He suggested we all dive into the original ‘Layla and Majnun’ poem from 12th century poet Nizami Ganjavi.” When the musical collective agreed to dive into these heady waters, the approach was to have all the band members read the poem and start writing. An early creative direction was rather than having it come from the man’s point of view, the decision was to view the songs from Layla’s perspective and how other people in the story may have viewed this relationship. The ideas started to flow and before long, the amount of material quickly piled up “We just kept writing while it was organically growing because we wanted to see where it was going to take us,” Tedeschi said. “When we started recording, we had a lot of songs [and realized] it was too much for a double-album because it wouldn’t all fit on a record. We weren’t sure if we were going to cut it down because we didn’t have any songs that we thought were fluff. They were all really great. So we made it

into four records because we realize some of the best records like Axis: Bold As Love are only about 35 to 40 minutes long, which is a good amount to enjoy the music. Otherwise, you get overwhelmed with too much information because it’s too much stuff. Honestly, that was happening in the studio when we were doing it. I’d be asking what a particular song was. I couldn’t keep up with all these songs and there were so many of them. I was just having to do one a time and take my time.” While the earliest cracks at I Am the Moon started in July 2020, it wouldn’t be until January of this year when all four movements would be completed. Adding to the unique approach is a visual component in the shape of I Am the Moon: The Film, which has four parts attached to each album and all of the songs. Directed by documentary filmmaker/author/television writer Alix Lambert, the films are debuting on YouTube concurrent with each record’s release. It’s yet another quirky component Tedeschi is completely enamored with.

“During the pandemic, people were waiting for The Mandalorian to come out every two weeks or whatever and you’d get 30 or 40 minutes to ingest and enjoy it before you’re on to the next [episode],” she explained. “Not unlike these records that are coming out a month apart, it gives you something to look forward to. The other thing too is having it come out on YouTube live for free as a listening experience is something everyone can do together as a society—we have people all over the world in places like Japan and Brazil watching at the same time as people in California and Massachusetts were. Some people woke up in the middle of the night to see it. And then people would watch it the next day or whenever on YouTube. It was just a really cool, weird and different way to do it. We’ve gotten so much positive feedback from it.” In taking this out on the road, Tedeschi admits the TTB aren’t trotting any new material out until after the albums are released (“If you do that before it comes out,

everybody tapes it and it’ll be on YouTube and it won’t be fresh or new.”) That said, fans will have plenty to look forward to from the annual Wheels of Soul summer tour that’ll find them joined by Los Lobos to the multiple Beacon Theatre fall dates. “On the summer tour, our set is about an hour and 45 minutes and we’ll probably do a mix of all different things,” Tedeschi said. “Maybe a couple of songs from each of our albums like Revelator, Made Up Mind, Signs—whatever. And a couple of covers sprinkled in like Derek and the Dominos and some Allman Brothers. Then, we’ll do some of the new stuff. And whatever record is out, we’ll be able to introduce those songs. Derek is usually our set-list writer, so a lot of times you just don’t know until the day of. Last year I think we played 88 different songs during the Beacon run and now we have 125 songs. We’ll mix it up and it’ll be different and fun. It’s not predictable. Some bands will have the same set list every night and I don’t know how they do that every night. Aren’t you bored with yourself? This band doesn’t like to get bored.” The Tedeschi Trucks Band will be appearing with Los Lobos on July 10 at the Great South Bay Music Festival, Shorefront Park, Patchogue.

These Speakeasies Are The Bees’ Knees

BY EMMA DUFFY

editors@antonmediagroup.com

he past is very much alive in New York. The honored speakeasies of the Prohibition era are still around today and can be found in both New York City and Long Island. Under years of unrelenting pressure from the Temperance movement, the government caved to pass the 18th Amendmen t. With its passage, the manufacture, sale and transportation of liquor ground to a halt. While those who pushed for Temperance felt triumphant, the rest of America refused to abide by the new law of the land. Not surprisingly, crime skyrocketed as people refused to stop drinking and instead took their drinking underground. New York became the epicenter of organized crime and during the height of Prohibition, there were 32,000 speakeasies in the state. The ratification of the 21st Amendment ended the need for speakeasies. However, that does not mean they lost their charm. There are two speakeasies in New York City that have stayed in business all this time since prohibition; one of which is The Back Room. The Back Room is open at 6 p.m. every day for customers to come and enjoy a taste of the past. There is not usually a password, but sometimes the doorman will heckle guests before allowing them in. If there is a password, it is most likely in use on Monday nights. On these nights at 9 p.m. there is live jazz. Admission is free and the password is posted on Facebook and Instagram. The Back Room oozes history and while there is seemingly nothing special about the exterior, once you enter the speakeasy, there is no doubt you are in the right place. The Back Room’s interesting

Charlotte’s Speakeasy’s spacious seating area matched with walls lined with vintage photos from the DeVito family and a vintage tin ceiling. (Photo by Emma Duffy) history includes it being one of two speakeasies that have stayed in existence since the 1920s. During the Roaring Twenties, a number of infamous gangsters regularly held meetings at the speakeasy. Meyer Lansky, Lucky Luciano, Bugsy Siegel, Frank Costello all enjoyed an illegal libation at The Back Room. That being said, there is definitely a bit of tainted history behind this bar. “A gangster was shot, right in front of here,” Back Room Event Coordinator/Manager Megan Bones said. “So people were really actually doing horrible things and we really did have those gangsters in our bar.” If the drinks and the history are not enough, Bones thinks there are other reasons people come to The Back Room. “People always want to go where they’re not supposed to go,” she said. Similar historic options are available for those who don’t want to leave Long Island for the experience. Charlotte’s Speakeasy in Farmingdale has reopened a historic space to complement the ice cream shop that stands above.

Charlotte’s Speakeasy is open on weekends and some Thursdays. Upon entering, it just looks like a normal ice cream parlor. However, at a bookcase that doubles as a hidden door, a bouncer will ask you for $5 and a password to enter. The password can be found on the website or if you are extremely stuck, people at the register will help out. This speakeasy was not always part of the plan. Upon buying the ice cream shop, it just looked like there were useless cellar doors in the back. Even after walking down the back steps, the basement did not seem like it was worth anything but storage. All of this changed when Mayor Ralph Ekstrand entered the ice cream shop and asked how they liked having a speakeasy in their basement. Brothers John and Nick DeVito, who own the shop, knew that it would be an expensive endeavor to open the place, but it would be worth it. It was important to the siblings to keep the history intact while renovating the space. The original tin ceiling from the 1920s is still in use. And while some of the posts

in the basement were torn down to make room, none off them were thrown out. They were re-purposed and the wooden posts are currently holding up the candles while the bar was constructed out of the recycled material. “What used to hold up the ceiling is now holding up your drinks,” DeVito said. The history of the place is felt by all who come, but especially by psychics. One visiting medium said she heard the previous owner speaking to her while she walked along the escape route. “She said, ‘He’s very happy you brought this place back. He feels alive again.’,” DeVito said. People come for the fun, the live jazz music, drinks, company, history and much more. There is something for everyone at Charlotte’s Speakeasy. They have noted that they have a very diverse crowd. This idea has astounding similarities to speakeasies in the past in which everyone came together, including women being at bars for the first time. They are glad to have people from all different ages and racial and cultural backgrounds. “Our place is a kind of welcome to everybody and it’s funny to see when you come down those stairs. Whoever you are, you’ll see yourself down here,” DeVito said. Visit www.longislandweekly.com to read a longer version of this story.

Top 10 Baseball Caps Of All-Time BY CARTER GIL DE RUBIO editors@antonmediagroup.com

When it comes to sports apparel, baseball is in a league of its own. While the stylish jerseys can make for nice casual wear, it’s the caps that have truly taken on a life of their own. They’ve become representative of more than just a person’s allegiance to their favorite team, stretching out into social movements and pop culture expression. Major League Baseball has seen many hats come and go, and everyone has their favorites. Here is a modest list of the 10 best baseball caps of all time.

Atlanta Braves (1972-1980)

New York Yankees (1915-Present)

The unique “softball uniforms” the Atlanta Braves rocked in the ’70s gave way to their most colorful look in franchise history. This was the logo and cap Hank Aaron wore when he passed Babe Ruth, that lowercase “A” being the lasting image of one of baseball’s most historic moments. It’s a funky, stylish reminder of a decade built on individuality and pop.

Simple, yet enduring. The New York Yankees have sported this look for over a century, and it’s easy to see why. Not only is it the logo of the most accomplished sports franchise in history, but it’s become synonymous with hip-hop and urban culture as a whole. From Times Square to the Great Wall of China, you’ll find someone wearing this hat even if they aren’t a Yankees fan.

Arizona Diamondbacks (1995-2007)

Miami Marlins (2012)

Nowadays, the Diamondbacks are known for their deep crimson color pallet. But before that change in the mid-2000s. their uniforms sported teal, gold and purple. It was a unique set that to this day has yet to be matched and it showed in their caps. A variation of this look was what the team wore when they won their only World Series in 2001, but this colorful cap was certainly the basis for what came next.

Only worn for two games in their inaugural season under their new “Miami Marlins” branding, this citrus-colored hat was the perfect embodiment of the all-sizzle, no-pop team of that season. The bright color scheme was a bold yet perfect representation of the city of Miami, which makes it all the more painful we only got to see them worn in-game twice.

Los Angeles Angels (1961-1964)

Chicago White Sox (1982-1986; 2013-Present)

Back in the ’80s, the White Sox abandoned their monochromatic color scheme. This resulted in a simple, yet sleek design that gave the South Siders a distinct look and feel all their own. While short lived, back in 2013 the team brought the look back as an alternate uniform and gave a whole new generation of fans a chance to see their best look.

Montreal Expos (1969-2004)

Losing Montreal’s baseball team was a tragedy for baseball. Even worse was losing these incredible caps. The bright red, white and blue pops with color and immediately attracts the eye and is a stylish look with just about any outfit. The logo also holds complexity too, as the colors inside the giant M spell out the initials “E” and “B”, a subtle way of having the cap say “Montreal Expos Baseball” without drawing too much attention away from the M itself.

Milwaukee Brewers (1978-1993; 2020-Present)

Back when the Brewers were an American League team and banging on the walls of every stadium on their way to the 1982 American League pennant, Milwaukee was rocking an iconic look that defined the greatest era of their franchise’s history. The baseball glove logo created with the “M” and “B” is one of the most creative design choices in the sport. It was brought back permanently only a couple of years ago and baseball has been better for it since.

It’s rare that the original model is the best, but these old-school Angels caps felt as if they were blessed by heaven itself. While the logo might be reminiscent of their crosstown rivals, the real standout is the gold piping on the top of the hat that is supposed to be the halo to their angelic attire. It’s a unique classic that should have been around much longer than only their first three years of existence.

Pittsburgh Pirates (1976-1987)

The unique box shape. The piping. Stargell’s Star’s decorating the sides and brims. The look of one of the most iconic teams in baseball history. There was nothing like it before and there was nothing like it since. What more could you ask?

Baltimore Orioles (1975-1989; 2012-Present)

The charm of their logo does a great job of masking the poor play on the field. The bright orange and white contrasts perfectly with the harsh black within and was the look and feel of some of this franchise’s bests moments. After a brief stint with a realistic oriole logo in the ’90s and aughts, the O’s brought back this iconic look a decade ago and it has endured since.

Home Price Increases Less Than One Percent

neKey MLS is the one source real estate marketplace for monthly statistics for residential real estate transactions from Montauk to Manhattan, north through the Hudson Valley and the Catskill Mountains. For April 2022, OneKey MLS reported a regional closed median sale price of $580,000, representing a $5,000 increase in the closed median sale price, or less than one percent higher than the reported figure in March 2022. Between March and April 2022, closed regional sales transactions, including residential, condo, and co-op sales, decreased to 4,629 from 5,264, representing a 12.1 percent month-over-month change. OneKey® MLS, the largest MLS in New York, aggregates the real estate transactional data from nine counties making up the regional MLS coverage area and reports individually on each county represented. The infographic demonstrates month-over-month closed median home price comparisons for the region. Whereas six of nine counties reported an increased closed median sale price, three of nine counties reported a decrease. Sullivan (22.3 percent), Westchester (9.3 percent), Orange (3.4 percent), Nassau (2.50 percent), Suffolk (2.4 percent), and Rockland (0.80 percent) Counties had month-over-month increases in closed median sale price. Queens (-7.90 percent), Bronx (-8.80 percent), and Putnam (-10.30 percent) Counties had month-over-month decreases. “In April, month-over-month regional home price gain was consistent with the slowing pace of the last several months of less than one percent month-over-month growth, an indication that the impact of inflation and rapidly rising mortgage rates are eroding the purchasing power from some would-be homeowners,” Jim Speer, CEO, OneKey MLS, said. “Home prices can’t exceed a buyer’s ability to pay, so with inflation and interest rates on the rise, we can expect to see home price appreciation continue slowing in part across our region.” Visit www.onekeymls.com/market-statistics for more statistical information about residential, condo and co-op sales transaction. —OneKey MLS

yourself lucky, indeed, as time is one of the better forces to have working for you. Even so, the gift is only as great as your management of it. You’ll prioritize your list and utilize the hours in the same manner you would were you working under greater constraint.

Raise a glass Solution: 16 Letters

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). In regard to this goal you hold so dear, it will dawn on you that mere competence will not be enough to get you where you want to go with it. You’ll see the benefit of adopting a long-term perspective, as reaching mastery will be a step-by-step-process, a discipline and probably even a lifestyle. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Obviously, you’d like to see all the lovely places and people you possibly can in your lifetime, but your first priority is to make your home environment a beautiful destination. As you approach the goal from multiple angles this week, you will simultaneously improve the emotional and aesthetic environment.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). While often neutrality saves time and trouble, what’s going on now is different. This one is worth getting involved in, and you’ll avoid future regret by first trying to understand it better and then helping out the side who needs you. This is about defending the defenseless. Plan your next move, but don’t make it yet. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You have to buy the whole box of cereal even if all you really want is the marshmallow charms; so it goes in relationships. There’s something to wade through to get to the sweetest part. If it weren’t so, you might just get a toothache from all the sugar. You’ll appreciate the balance of desirable and less desirable qualities. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Truly, to know a person is to love them. Taking the time to gain an intimate understanding of someone is an act of devotion. It is not only your personal experience that teaches you. Social options of this week offer a chance to see a person in various contexts and through other people’s eyes. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You could settle into the mood of a place, but that leaves too much to chance. So instead, you’ll take charge of the environments you’re in this week, creating your preferred emotional temperature, which you’ll decide before you ever even get there. Truly, you bring the weather with you. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). This is your lucky week for dropping a fear. It’s much more simply done than you imagined it would be -- an action that’s brave and strong yet takes absolutely no effort or courage, only a decision to relax. Instructions: Imagine the fear is in your hand, and then let it go limp and fall away. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You may never agree with certain people who you work or live near, yet you will be strategic, flowing good energy to head off future bad vibes. You’ll be ready to stand when it matters, though in many instances you’ll find freedom in cautiously watching them exhaust their own energy in nonsense. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Problems that seem impossible to solve are solved every day. You’re closer to answers than you think, so don’t give up, but do relax because ideas about what to try next will come to you in stress-free moments -- for instance, while in the shower. It will also help to open your realm of influence.

THIS WEEK’S BIRTHDAYS

Your solar return energy swirls around finance first; you’ll take a risk on a lucrative opportunity and win. You’ll dream both silly and practical things and attract collaborators with your blend of quirkiness and logic. A new friendship will spark exciting escapades and mutually fulfilling joint ventures. More highlights: the keen sensitivity to sniff out the truth in just about any situation, comfortable time with your favorite companions and a deal in which you expect nothing and get everything.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You go into relationships and other endeavors with openness and optimism. This does not preclude you from having a backup strategy. In fact, sometimes the Plan B in your pocket gives you confidence. A friend with a talent for identifying potential problems can help you avoid trouble. Run your plans by this person.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Desire brings its frustrations, but whether you get what you want or not, just wanting is a gift. It is lucky to know yourself and be in touch with your own appetites and preferences. Keep going. You will find satisfaction. In the meantime, could you celebrate your drive as a signal that you’re alive and on purpose?

Famous Hand West dealer. Neither side vulnerable. NORTH ♠9 ♥ A K Q 10 9 8 3 ♦— ♣A K 6 5 4 WEST EAST ♠Q753 ♠A K 8 ♥— ♥2 ♦ Q 10 6 5 4 ♦A K J 9 8 7 3 2 ♣ J 10 8 3 ♣9 SOUTH ♠ J 10 6 4 2 ♥J 7 6 5 4 ♦— ♣Q 7 2 The bidding: West North East South Pass 2♦ 5♦ 5♥ Pass 6♥ Dble Opening lead — jack of clubs. Freak hands produce freak results, as witness this deal from the World Pair Olympiad many years ago. All kinds of results occurred at the 30 tables where the hand was played, but we report here only those of two American pairs who sat EastWest. At one table, with Robert Jordan and Arthur Robinson sitting EastWest, the bidding went as shown. The artificial two-diamond bid by North showed game-going strength but not necessarily diamonds. Jor-

dan then leaped to five diamonds, partly in the hope of making it and partly to jam the bidding. He later doubled six hearts but wound up taking second money when the Dutch declarer lost only a spade trick and scored 1,210 points. In fact, South would have made an overtrick if Robinson had led a diamond instead of a club. The other American pair, Marshall Miles and Phil Feldesman, had far better luck. The bidding at their table went: West North East South Pass 2♦ 5♦ Pass 7♦ Dble Here West, after South had passed, added a second pre-emptive bid to his partner’s. Over seven diamonds, North, who had not yet shown either of his suits, found himself completely frustrated. He doubled, for want of anything better to do, and everyone passed. South had to make a blind opening lead and, after great travail, selected the jack of spades. This allowed declarer to score four spade tricks instead of three, and he eventually got rid of his club loser on dummy’s seven of spades to make the grand slam for a score of 1,630 points! This was 2,840 points better than their compatriots had done with exactly the same cards!

Munsey Park Machine Makers Show Off

ifth-grade students from Munsey Park Elementary School in the Manhasset Public Schools recently hosted their Rube Goldberg Expo for loved ones. On display were creative projects which were the culminating activity to the students’ simple machines unit, where fifth graders explored Rube Goldberg, an American cartoonist, sculptor, author, engineer and inventor. Led by Munsey Park science specialist Kim Viscovich and the entire fifth grade team, the students were challenged to create their own simple machines on a large posterboard using supplies such as cardboard, cups, string, tape and toilet paper and paper towel rolls.

The fifth graders worked in small groups and created their own mechanisms with the goal of having a ball successfully travel from one point to another and ring a bell. Students followed 10 steps and were asked to incorporate all the simple machines that they learned about in class into their projects. Each group decorated their posterboards and thought of creative titles for their projects. During the expo, each group was able to showcase their machine and have loved ones and peers test out their creation. It was a great end to a fun project. —Submitted by the Manhasset Public Schools

Munsey Park Hosts International Celebration Munsey Park third graders from Danielle Shapiro’s class invited family members and administrators into their classroom on June 14 for an international celebration. Throughout the school year, the students explored many different countries, with a main focus on Japan, Mexico and the United States. The special event was a culmination of all that they learned. The students presented on the different social studies lessons that they immersed themselves in during the school year,

and the corresponding projects that they completed which enhanced their knowledge of the different countries. The class integrated reading, writing and computer skills into their social studies units. Loved ones watched in excitement as a slideshow of classroom photos from throughout the school year was shown. Families were then invited to tour the classroom and explore all the fantastic social studies projects that their children worked hard on during the year. —Submitted by the Public Schools

On The Diamond: A Final Look

FRANK RIZZO frizzo@antonmediagroup.com

anhasset baseball coach Mark Giardino, asked to sum up the 2022 campaign, said it was “one of the most up and down, emotionally draining, roller coaster seasons.” And yet, “I couldn’t be prouder of the boys if we had won a championship,” he added. “We had so many obstacles and trials and tribulations.” The season came to end for the Indians with a 2-0 loss to Plainedge in the Class A playoffs on May 21. Plainedge went on to lose by the same score to eventual county and Long Island champion and state semifinalist Calhoun. That the squad was in a position to be in a playoff seemed dim when it fell to 1-7 early in the season. “Most teams would fall apart under such [pressure] and with our injuries,” Giardino said. “We lost our 1, 3 and 4 pitchers and our catcher, best hitter and most important player—Mikey Brunetti.” Manhasset, ranked 16th, opened the playoffs with play-in victory over No. 17 Mineola, 8-5. Winning pitcher Theo Zacharia went six for the win, with Jake Moss pitching a 1-2-3 seventh for the save. Zacharia added two runs and two RBI. Brendan Trotta also drove in two runs. After falling 10-0 to the Calhoun buzz saw, the Indians came back to beat No. 9 New Hyde Park 10-7 in the double elimination tournament. Michael Waltos struck out 10 for the win. Zacharia got the last four outs to earn the save. Trey Zaffiro paced the attack with a double, a homer and three RBI. Moss added two RBI while Trotta had two hits. Zacharia came back three days later and took the loss against Plainedge despite yielding just two hits. “We won two playoff games [because] some guys stepped up and matured and fulfilled their roles,” Giardino said.

Brendan Trotta struck out a batter with the bases loaded in the sixth to help preserve the win over Levittown Division.

Where Is North Hempstead’s Cat Shelter? JULIE PRISCO jprisco@antonmediagroup.com

or years now, North Hempstead resident Stuart Kroll has been speaking up at town meetings and advocating for the town to build a cat shelter. North Hempstead doesn’t have a town cat shelter for stray cats to be cared for and placed with a family. While the town does have an animal shelter located at 75 Marino Ave. in Port Washington, the shelter only houses dogs. Many people assume that since the town has a shelter, the shelter must take cats. But, unfortunately, that is not the case at the North Hempstead Animal Shelter. “People don’t even realize this problem exists,” Kroll told The Port Washington News. Kroll explained that one of the reasons cats aren’t incorporated into the North Hempstead Animal Shelter is the lack of space. “This issue goes back to Jon Kaiman,” Kroll said. Kaiman was the town Supervisor from 2003 to 2013. “The idea was that 80 to 90 percent of cats would be euthanized because of space issues so, understandably, he didn’t want to place cats there. But no respectable shelter puts any cats down unless they’re terminally ill. No private shelter and no decent municipal shelter will do that either.” Under Supervisor Judy Bosworth, the town did a feasibility study to determine

(Getty Images)

how many cats the town shelter could hold. According to the survey, Kroll explained that the shelter could hold an estimated 33 cats. At the time, the town felt that that number wasn’t sufficient, and while Kroll agreed, he realized it was naive to think the town would continue searching for a solution to the issue. “I would say you need to have something that can hold 60 to 80 cats at a time,” Kroll determined. When Jen DeSena was running for Supervisor, Kroll met with her to chat about the lack of a cat shelter. She was sympathetic to the issue and signed the petition from Voters 4 Voiceless. Kroll is the co-founder and active member of the Voters 4 Voiceless animal advocacy group. Over 2,000 people signed the petition for a town cat shelter. The Voters 4 Voiceless group recently worked on getting the Puppy Mill Bill passed. “That was a huge victory, and it shows that these victories can happen when dedicated people get involved,” said Kroll. “We gave the town the [cat shelter] petition a while back,” said Kroll. “Since more

than 2,000 people want the shelter, you would think something would get done. So many people have spent a lot of money and experienced a lot of heartaches trying to place cats themselves.” Kroll is one of many people in the town of North Hempstead that work to capture stray cats and find them a home or shelter. Though the town doesn’t shelter stray cats, they have a TNR program (trap, neuter, release) that is held at the town shelter to help keep the stray cat population down. Residents can bring stray cats to the shelter on specific days when the program is running to have cats neutered or spayed. After the procedure, the cats are released back to where they came from, usually the streets. “The people that bring in the cats to the TNR program will come to get them after the procedure,” said Kroll. “And if they’re friendly cats, they’ll try to get them adopted, and if they’re not friendly, unfortunately, they just have to release them back the streets.” “When female cats are spayed, it’s a much more complicated surgery than male cats being neutered,” said Kroll. “Male cats can

safely be released, but the female cats that are spayed should be able to stay a minimum of one or two nights, so the stitches don’t break open. It’s not safe to release them, and they are releasing them.” While the program is meant to keep the cat population down, Kroll feels it is not working. “It’s just getting more and more out of control because the TNR program is really pathetic,” said Kroll. “The North Hempstead shelter does approximately 1,000 cats a year, about 80 cats a month that they will fix. But when you go to the Town of Hempstead shelter, they have an excellent TNR program.” “[The Hempstead shelter] could fix 80 cats a month there with one individual and they have multiple people working on the TNR program,” Kroll said. “One individual at the Hempstead shelter can do as much as the whole TNR program at the North Hempstead shelter.” Kroll attends the monthly Town of North Hempstead Board Meetings to speak on the issue of stray cats having no shelter in the town. He hopes that consistently bringing attention to the problem will encourage the board to help and make the residents aware of the situation. “I would tell [people concerned with the cat shelter problem] to go to the board meetings,” said Kroll. “If you want change, you have got to make yourself aware and available. I encourage people to come to board meetings and speak up about the fact that there is no cat shelter and that these animals are suffering and starving in the streets.”

Taking North Hempstead’s Temperature On Climate Change North Hempstead Supervisor Jennifer DeSena and the Town Board, along with the Town’s Climate Smart Communities Task Force, encourage the community to participate in a survey to assess issues, perceptions and beliefs about climate change. Findings will help the town determine what community members believe are the most important actions to tackle when creating its Climate Action Plan. “The Town of North Hempstead recognizes the detrimental impact of climate change on our community, and the Town Board and I are committed to developing and implementing policies that will reduce the Town’s carbon footprint,” Supervisor DeSena said. “This survey will provide

invaluable data and assist the town in our sustainability efforts.” The town collaborated with faculty at New York Institute of Technology (NYIT) to help develop the survey and has compiled a list more than one hundred stakeholders and community groups that will help spread the word to all communities throughout North Hempstead. The survey is live on the Town’s Climate Action website and is accessible in multiple languages. All results will be made public and included in the Town of North Hempstead Climate Action Plan. To take the survey visit NorthHempsteadNY.gov/ClimateAction. —Submitted by the Town of North Hempstead
